Dancing to a Moon Boogie

....so you like to dance huh...

Dancing to a Moon Boogie

 

 

Sometimes,

sometimes you need a Beck boogie

booty woogie,

a sky dancing moon,

to remind you

you are alive.

 

Or is it to celebrate our demise?

 

It’s 11:59,

the hour is way past late,

earth tones have darkened,

stars nova’d into chaos,

as our universe de-evolves.

 

It’s 11:59,

we stare extinction in the face,

shaking our booty

to a black moon, boogie woogie.

The art of dance to outweigh the pressures of existence...demise or to thrive, it seems like 2020 has brought many a global issue to the forefront and people can no longer hide from those issues affecting everyone. Demise or thrive...a personal choice one might think (with a step to the right) but it is not and more people will inevitably realise that it has to be a collective choice (a step to the left) in order to save not only the world but humanity...times are a changing and with them more need to dance to the tune of epiphany to exit the time warp :) Sorry, got carried away with the time warp more than a boogie there lol Brilliant piece Redzone...

Hello Curt
How curiously strange we are as a species... that writing of this pure truth can elicit both smile and tear..,

Always an inspiration to read your poetic thoughts.

dearest Curt... this takes me back to when I was a child and my parents best friend Johnnie played Boogie Woogie on our Piano. He played by Ear any song he knew the Tune 🎶 in the
Fifties. Now it is 2020 and our Politicians Boogie their Booty in debates🎻. If only there was not so much hate... we could Save our World and Country. Politics Begone ... Long
live Nature... and Boogie Woogie and feathered Love Songs to the Moon and back. truly, Pat

you know Patricia, they may shake their booty, but non of them have any rhythm and they sure as hell can't dance.... one thing is for sure, if we do not stop the direction of where things are headed, nature will exist without humans and probably most birds too... roaches will have the floor all to themselves sincee they will survive and boogie woogie down main street...

thanks Patricia for your visit and for the boogie woogie and feathered love songs to the moon and back...

This sounds futuristic in a sort of sci-fi story-way. Waiting for the inevitable end with a hoop and a holler. "Let's break out the booze and have a ball."

Interesting poem with that foreboding storm on the way vibe.

hey there Relic... let's hope that we stop the partying and do something worthwhile to save the only hope we will ever have.... Prince also wrote a similar type song. "1999"... so here's to actually having a future where we can dance!!! thanks my friend for the comment and visit....
